John Gara, CEO RDB

The growth in your businesses and your increased competitiveness is important to us as the Rwanda Development Board. We know that our prosperity as a nation depends on how individual businesses and indeed entire sectors are able to outperform their competitors both on the local market and on the international scene. This is why, as the RDB, we go to great lengths to build a business friendly environment in Rwanda. But this event is not about us, it is about you our esteemed investors.

The awards have grown in terms of participants, awards and sponsors. The RDB Business Excellence Awards now recognize other important players in the business community. The event will recognize corporate enterprises and with a new focus on Small and Medium Enterprises, Customer Care, Women in Business and Young Entrepreneurs.
